I feel jealous when she's with others

We're in a long distance relationship and we rarely get to meet, once in a few months.. The issue is that whenever she hangs out or has an experience with her other friends who are male, I feel a bit of jealously that she's able to spend time with them in person and make memories with them and here we are who love each other and can't even meet even if we want to. Is it wrong for me to feel that? I trust her so much, it's just about getting time with her in person. (She does give me a lot of time online)

I hear you...
The downside of long distance relationship. It's hard to find balance between jealousy and still let each other grow and enjoy life.

Its so natural to be possesive, i feel the same way and even go crazy sometimes with one of my online friend (i just cried a little while writing this even as i recall a recent incident where she was able to invite someone over). I think a lot has to do with the fact that I am the first born, the first borns i have have heard are more possessive in their relationships due to the early childhood experiences, particularly when the 2nd sibling comes in and takes our time and space with our source of life, it can create a serious abandonment wound.

What’s the long term plan - do either of you plan to move to be closer with each other ?

I wish I could, but looking at the circumstances, it seems highly unlikely in near future at least ...

@calmBike6654 Jealousy is perfectly normal especially in a long distance relationship. It's all about how we act on it. I suffer from it as well and I see my girlfriend 4 nights out of the week. If you trust her that's all that matters. For me I focus on my goals and reaching out to friends. It helps but it's hard.
Best of luck!
